[Q] Using a PS3 controller WITHOUT Sixaxis App - Verizon Droid Charge

Hello guys!
I finally rooted my Droid Charge, so I bought a mini to micro USB to see if the Sixaxis App was compatible with the Charge (with was a mistake from me), and it turns out that it is not..
So now that I have this cable to connect the controller directly to the phone, I was wondering if there is any way I can use it to make the Sixaxis work
Does anyone know about a program, an app, or anything allowing me to do so?
Thank you!

There is an app for it but our blitooth drivers arnt supported yet. I think the app is called sixaxis on the market. Maybe you can hook up with a dev to get it working

Yeah. Bluetooth is weirdly implemented on Samsung phones. It may just not work at all.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Did you really read my post :-D
Like I said, I tried the sixaxis App, it does not work. Therefore, I assumed that the Bluetooth isn't compatible, or at least not yet.
That's why I'm asking if there's any way if we can use the controller using the mini to micro usb cable that I have.
By the way I apologize for the confusing thread title, I meant "Without Using Sixaxis App"

PS3 navigation controller on android (not normal controller)

Looking for some sort of a wireless wii nunchuck that will work with my g2 phone. Honestly, all I have is a bunch of questions that people is a ps3 and an android phone would know. The app u use is called sixaxis.
1. Is it 100% necessary to root my g2 for the ps3 controllers to work?
2. Is it possible to sync just the ps3 move navigation controller alone to the system?
Again the controller is called "ps3 move navigation controller"
Thanks for anything anyone would be able to help me with.

As of now, ps3 move navigation controller is no supported with sixaxis app. Hopefully it would be soon. Since I have a keyboard phone I can use all my keyboard buttons in one hand while holding the phone and in my other hand use the ps3 navigation analog stick.
I've been doing this with the wiimote sometimes but it doesn't have full analog touch capabilities.
Just a heads up. That wand doesn't use sixaxis technology it is an infrared light detected by the PlayStation eye. There is no way for the move sand to work with an android phone unless you can get the android to somehow connect to the PlayStation eye.

Sixaxis supports PS3 to Droid but you need to see if your paqrticulat deice is compatible with this merge so get this app first SixAxis Compatibility Checker If you do not get a "Error: Missing required protocol" message after youve started the app, then you are good to go. The next step is to
get the SixAxis Controller Kit there are ways of getting this free but anyway after that get on your computer the rest is from the PC end! I can elaborate more on this if you want to know more
My Huawei Ascend M860 works perfectly with this method!

"ps3 move navigation controller" can be used over usb or wirelessly with sixaxis controller app over bluetooth.
i can use it with my n7 2012.

[Q] Has anyone managed to get any gamepad working, natively?

I got my OTG USB cable and mice etc. seem to work fine. Tried the wired xbox controller and while it is detected via the BT joystick test app, it wont work in any apps.
Tried another generic USB gamepad today and nothing, not even recognised in the test app.
So has anyone managed to get a gamepad working natively? The main reason I ask if that my mum likes to play the odd old arcade game (cool huh) and she would need gamepad support and wont bother if she has to pay out and configure another it all via another app!
thanks
guess not
I have gotten a wireless sixaxis controller to work via bluetooth, but my wired xbox controller will not work.

Use a ps3 controller. No wires = boss. And you can even use it for touch screen only games.

yeah if I could get one cheap then it would be great, my mum wont be up for spending a fortune
I have the same problem here. In my case I have generic USB controller and totally the tab and BT joystick test app cannot detect it. Did you manage to make it work?
For those who were able to get the game controller to work on tablet, which ROMS have the sixaxis program installed?

Usb controller how to use on p6200

Dears
Can anyone suggest me how to use my normal usb joysticks to play gakes on my tab. Like fifa tha really needs a joysticks or car games.
And i have the otg cord. Does it help anything?
If yes, so it is only a matter of software only?
Sent from my GT-P6200 using xda app-developers app
you'll most likely require a rooted devices and the appropriate keylayout files. Some devices already have them installed in /system/usr/keylayout or /data/system/devices/keylayout but I haven't looked to see if the Tab 7+ does or not. I have noticed that alot of the really cheap tablets have a crap load of keylayouts already installed but the more expensive devices do not...
I tried to use a xbox controller but the tab wouldn't recognize it. I have used a keyboard and it works great. Any usb keyboard should work.

[Q] JellyBam 3.0.0 - How do I use my wired Xbox 360 Controller with my phone?

Using rohan.kernel b6 with OTG, and nothing really happens when I plug the 360 controller in. The xbox button ring blinks as expected, but my phone doesn't seem to detect it. No game detects it, and I cannot move around the UI with it.
Edit: OTG is definitely working, keyboards and USB sticks work perfectly fine with the phone.
bump.
Did you find an answer? Is this kernel specific not rom specific, I heard once that it was dependant on both but gave up. I would like to get it now vice city is availiable.

I had the same quesrion which I posted in the apps section about a week ago. Someone pointed me to Droid.emu on Play Store. However, I am using a factory PS3 controller. I'm running Viper 2.4.1 w/ElementalX kernel. After you map the buttons it works flawless. This is on emulators of course.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for your advice. I think the ps3 is Bluetooth which is a little different. The 360 controller USB and some games such as the GTA ones support it natively. However I can not get any response from it in jellybam with siyah kernel.

Ps3 dual shock contoller question.

This may sound stupid, but i bought the controller not knowing you need to buy the charger seperate. Anyone who has used this controller for your tablet, do i need to buy an adapter to hook up the controller with a usb initially?? Thats what the instructions say, just wanna be clear.

Just buy a USB to Mini-B cable and you can connect/charge it with your pc. Make sure your pc installs the correct usb driver for it because it needs to communicate before getting the correct current/voltage.
You would need the cable anyway to reprogram with SixaxisPairTool.

For charging on pc, all 4 leds will flash while charging. They will switch off when done.
I presume you'd want to use it wirelessly using bluetooth. For bluetooth connection take a look at Sixaxis

You need to be rooted. If not rooted you can use a wired controller.

Ok so i changed the blue tooth address on the controller to the address on my tablet with the tool kit. I am already rooted. When i plug the controller to the pc it shows the same address. I have the sixaxis app from the play store. I have ime bypassed. I hit start within the app. Then i hit the power/ps button on the controller and nothing happens. The controller doesnt blink any lights or anything. When i just plug the controller to my pc it blinks all 4 lights for a little bit then stops (assuming its charged) not sure what im doing wrong or if my controller just isnt working. Just got the controller in the mail today. I admit tho, when i first got it i was stupid and excited and plugged it into the wall. If anyone thinks thats what killed it ill return it and get a new one. I just wanna make sure its not something im missing. Thanks in advance.

The first thing is try with Dead Trigger. It has native support. Go to options etc. The mapping is very small and hard to see.
Go to Preferences->Gamepad Settings->Enable Gamepad. Make sure it's ticked.
Go to Keyboard Emulation->Bypass IME->untick.
Report back your results.
p.s. this might be silly but don't substitute letter o with zero for address.

Ok, so i checked the address and if i put an o in place of a 0 (zero) then its invalid and wont let me update the address. Anyway, i downloaded dead trigger and weng i to preferences in sixaxis controller and checked enable Gamepad and unchecked bypass ime. Tried learning in my controller and still no lights or anything when i hit the power button.

I think you've done everything correctly. The only other option is to try with another controller to make certain or return the one you have. Sorry mate.

Ok, i ordered and recived a new controller. And its still not working. Ive come to the conclusion that it is user error. I think its the SixaxisPairTool im using. It allows me to change the bluetooth address bu when i un install it, it has an error Saying this is not supported on this platform. Ive tried downloading the 32bit version for windows xp a bunch and it keeps showing this 64 verio is not compatible with your platform.... At this point i would be great full if someone could just shoot me a link for the correct download for my platform and/or walk me through this. I feel and sound like a little kid who needs their hand held but I really want this to work!! Please anyone!
